COT:

Remember ladies, use minimal effort for maximum results. Do what you're good at and do it fast. Use the little things, like baby pinches and low kicks. Target the vulnerable areas like eyes, groin, and ears. Elbows, Knees, and palms are a better option than punches if your body is not conditioned to punch correctly. Be aware of your surroundings always and avoid situations that will put you at greater risk!
